ADEMCO 5801
Remote Wireless Panic Transmitter
INSTALLATION AND SETUP GUIDE
GENERAL
The ADEMCO 5801 is a portable unit, which can be programmed (at the control
receiver) to perform up to four system functions (e.g., arm STAY, arm AWAY, Panic,
disarm, etc.). No audible or visual system status indications are provided by the 5801
(except for a Red LED indicator which flashes when the unit transmits). The 5801 is
intended for use only with wireless alarm systems that support 5800 series devices.
The transmitter may be left unmounted, resting on a table, countertop, or other surface,
or carried in a pocket or purse. If the unit will not be wall-mounted, remove the mounting
plate attached to the back of the unit (see step 1 of WALL-MOUNTING instructions on
the other side)
Ensure that a transmission is received from each area where usage of this transmitter is
anticipated.
PROGRAMMING
The 5801 has four unique identification codes permanently assigned during
manufacture. You must “enroll” these codes into the control system at some point prior
to usage of the system. Each button must be enrolled by the control receiver. See
Important Note below.
IMPORTANT PROGRAMMING NOTE: THE 5801 TRANSMITTER MUST BE
PROGRAMMED AS ONE OF THE FOLLOWING INPUT TYPES ONLY:
“UR” type (unsupervised RF) or “RF” type (supervised RF)
The UR type is supervised only for battery status, whereas the RF type is supervised for
an hourly check-in signal and must not be taken out of range of the control receiver.
See the control unit’s Installation Instructions for further details regarding programming.
SELECTION OF FUNCTIONS FOR BUTTONS
For convenience, the 5801 is supplied with the buttons labeled with the functions shown
in Figure 1. Labels for these particular functions were chosen since they are
those likely to be selected for most
installations. However, additional
labels are provided for those cases
where other functions are desired;
simply attach the new label over the
existing one. In all cases, each
button must be programmed for its
desired function, as indicated in the
control unit’s installation instructions.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
If the “Function 4” button is not
used, it MUST be programmed as
a “Not used” zone type.
